It’s hard to argue against Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen being the best route runner in the league. Allen possesses elite, short-area quickness that allows him to create separation at the top of the route, whether he’s in the slot or on the perimeter.

NFL Network stopped by Hoag Performance Center in Costa Mesa, CA as a part of their Inside Training Camp LIVE segment earlier this week to learn more about how Allen dominates cornerbacks with his savvy route running ability.

Allen is 6-foot-2 and 211 pounds, but he is not a powerfully-built receiver by any stretch of the imagination. His precision route-running ability and football IQ have always been his staples.

The former Cal product is still just 26 years old despite the fact that he is entering his sixth campaign in the NFL. And that’s something that is worth noting considering Allen became the first WR in league history to record 10 or more catches, 100 or more yards and one or more touchdowns in three consecutive games in 2017.

He’s an elite playmaker who is coming off a fantastic season and still has a ton of room to grow, as long as he remains healthy. Quarterback Philip Rivers should be excited once again to have his top WR heading into the 2018 season.
